An automated synthesis protocol has been developed for the preparation of oligo(p-benzamide)son solid support using a commercial peptide synthesizer employing a variation of standard Fmoc chemistry.Bis(trichloromethyl carbonate) in NMP was used to activate the aromatic carboxylic acids for acylation ofsecondary aromatic amines on solid support. N-Protected hepta(p-benzamide) was automatically preparedon solid support and manually converted to a solid supported block co-oligomer by attaching a poly(ethyleneglycol) chain. Cleavage from the support could be achieved with minimal loss of the p-methoxybenzylN-protective group. While the N-protected block co-oligomer was molecularly dissolved in nonpolar organicsolvents, the N-deprotected block co-oligomer adopted a rod-coil conformation and showed strongaggregation as evidenced by gel permeation chromatography and transmission electron microscopy. Rigidrodlike aggregates could be observed in chloroform, toluene, as well as water.
